I finally went over to a slow-moving construction site that has been in process for weeks, if not longer. With little hope due to a lot of bigger rocks being hauled off, I walked along the elevated slopes of plowed dirt and smaller rocks that remained. To my surprise, I found some nice Fort Worth formation echinoids (holaster and macraster sp) and some small ammonites of the mortoniceras sp. I also found a very well fed nautiloid, I’m nicknaming Fat Boy Lloyd (you know, respectfully like he’s a rapper). It weighed in at 5 lb 10 ounces! I thinks it’s paracymatoceras species given the visible lines that are very close together. I also found what I think is a nicely ornate trigonia clam. Tarrant county, Texas.

Not exactly sure whether this is new information, has already been observed, or if this is just me misinterpreting fossils, but I recently noticed that there are two species of the Coon Creek Formation that look very similar. That being Pterotrigonia thoracica and Trigonia eufaulensis. I noticed while observing a gallery made by @Herb that each species looks very similar, and are almost indistinguishable. Upon observing other examples of each species, I came up with this conclusion: P. thoracica typically has 14-15 ribs on its shell, while T. eufualensis has 16-17. Let me know what you all think of this! The P. trigonia is a specimen that I found in 2018, while the T. eufualensis is from @Herb's gallery.

I was invited last Saturday to take part in a meeting of amateur and professional paleontologists in the Rhine valley. We met at a place called the Kahlenberg in Ringsheim. This used to be an iron ore mine before it was turned into a garbage dump in the 70's and was transformed a couple of decades later into a modern recycling center, developing methods of recycling which have been copied all over the world. The entire site, about 100 acres, has been renaturalized and is cultivated in such a way that it has become a breeding place and habitat for many rare flora and fauna. It is also a well-known site for geological and paleontological research where a small section of the area is set aside for this purpose. We were shown a couple of films about the recycling methods and the flora and fauna and then we were treated to an extremely informative lecture about the geology and fossil fauna of the Aalenian and Bajocian layers which are exposed here. The site is generally off limits to collectors, but our group was allowed to do a couple of hours of digging after lunch. I was lucky enough to find this perfectly preserved and complete 6cm. long Trigonia costata bivalve from the Bajocian humphresianum zone.
